no return fuel line...will an FMU work???
Just pondering, helping a friend out with his custom turbo on a 7th gen civic...he's already set up all the piping, and is just wondering about the fuel, there is no return on the fuel line, so would the 8:1 FMU cause the car to run too rich???

Well my Camry has the same crappy fuel setup. You can use a paxton regulator and then create a return line. Its boost referenced but only 1:1, dont know how much that will help. The return lines arent hard to make, especially if your fuel sending unit is the same as a car with a return line (maybe one of the other models) They also sell a part that taps a return line into your gas tank. It attaches to the fill tube, its made by MOROSO and JEGS carries them. I would convert the system to have a return line, i did a lot of research on this and that seemed to be the best solution.
Good luck!

I don't think I would go to any great lengths to modify a car for the sole purpose of adding a FMU... considering FMUs are worthless in the first place. Put some larger injectors (370s or bigger) and tune them in with a VAFC or if he wants to do it RIGHT, get a Hondata or AEM EMS or Haltech or.....
